## Resource

NSW politics is in turmoil as Icac investigates explosive claims of branch stacking and illegal donations within the Liberal party under Operation Rosny. A secretive group of young conservatives, the “Reformers,” allegedly plotted to recruit 5,000 Christian conservatives to take over the party, backed by senior Liberals including Tony Abbott and Alan Jones. The probe digs into whether funds from questionable sources—including a hotelier and a Catholic schools-linked company—were funneled through shell entities, with one message jokingly referencing “filthy schools’ money.” Also under scrutiny: fugitive developer Jean Nassif, accused of bribing Liberals to push his development agenda, with intercepted chats involving Dominic Perrottet’s brothers. Some suspects are reportedly fleeing the country, while Icac also examines alleged blackmail involving two Labor councillors. The investigation is just getting started, with weeks of hearings ahead.
